Differentiate between health fitness standards and physical fitness standards


Health fitness standards are the lowest fitness requirements for maintaining good health, decreasing the risk for chronic diseases, and lowering the incidence of muscular/skeletal injuries. Attaining the health fitness standards requires only moderate amounts of physical activity. The physical fitness standard is set higher than the health fitness standard and requires a more vigorous exercise program. Physical fitness standards are required criteria to achieve a high level of physical fitness and the ability to do moderate-to vigorous physical activity without undue fatigue.
